Sorry, my mistake. I've seen this discussed several times and thought
that the patch in http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2002-04/msg00102.html
had been approved. We still "highly recommend" that the build directory
is not the same as the source directory rather than saying that they
"must" be different.
